Currently there is 0 incentive to use small pouches, which is bad game design and promotes power creep/grenade spam.
Under the new BR system, small pouches need to be made BR 1 or 2 and large pouches BR 4 (specifically NOT 3, so they wont get downmatched).
—> now people have strong reasons to use both types of pouches, spam is reduced and the game gets great balance.
I don’t see any other item in the game that profits from a clear BR separation as much as the 2 pouch types.
I’ve suggested before, and I’ll bring it up again.
Small pouches should allow you to take 2 of them, but they have to be different types.
For example, a small backpack and small grenade pouch.
Now you can carry an extra grenade, but also an extra medkit or even a toolkit.
It would allow diverse alternatives to just spamming large bags.
There is a reason to use small pouches.
You don’t have large ammo unlocked, Afterwards? if your broke small ammo pouch is still useful due to it’s 1 bronze order.
but that’s apples to oranges.
I 100% agree that making them useful for low levels and large ammo for high levels, My only issue is they really aren’t that useful, 1 more mag for any gun type (past belt feds which it has no effect on seemingly.)
